Remember when the DS had the game sharing ability where you could join mariokart without the game? I used to play that with my cousins and it was great!!
@@Malibu0069 I am playing devils advocate to say this: sometimes people might not want to have to filter through things that don’t actually apply to them. They might be wise to yet at the same time. Everyone has the right to focus on what they wish to.
This is great content! I use the first method with my kids. Their switch that they share with each over is "my" main console so that any profile can play the games and they each have a profile. Then MY actual switch I play on just has my profile but isn't my primary device. Works like a charm!
thanks a lot for this comment, this is what I was looking for. I just want my brother to have access to all the digital games that I've bought on his own switch.
So you don’t online membership? Just a WiFi to play digital games on non primary console on the go? Yes my account is primary on my sister’s switch account because I bought a lot of games on digital
Okay so if account 1 has been buying all the games and we switch our primary’s like option 1 account 2 will be able to buy their own games and play them on either switch still ? Don’t need to buy all the games on one account
@@Macca3 Not the ability to login and play games with that account. The airplane mode thing I haven't tested, but it checks my sons connection every time.
Great video. Question about the last part. If someone switches Aeroplane mode back on will it kick the others out at that point, so if two are then not on plane mode?
I don't understand (I do understand it is a money thing...) why I can't have an eShop "dad" account that pays for the game and then have 2 switches for my children (I don't even have a switch, just the kids) that have a "user" account to play the games that I pay for. I just tried the airplane mode "hack" and either I did it wrong or Nintendo has fixed it. Is there seriously not a way for me to buy a digital download of a game and then install that game to each of my children's switches so they can each play a game that I have paid for? Who in the world wants to buy multiple copies of a game?? It's like paying your ISP for each device connected to your home internet a-la-carte... RIDICULOUS! Maybe I have my accounts setup wrong, I'll fiddle with it some more I guess. It is a great video though :)
No, thats just how it is. If you have 2 switches, you're buying 2 copies. If you have 3 switches, you can buy 2 copies and have one of the childs accounts just use the main login to play whatever games you don't want to buy 3 copies of, but you cannot then all 3 play the same game at the same time, which means anything multiplayer (i.e. Mario Kart 8, Mario World 3D, Mario Party) the shared game won't work. It really sucks. I pay $80 a year for NSO with the expansion pack, and I end up spending $60 per copy (NSO vouchers currently save you $20 per 2 copies, buy you have to have 2 games in mind, if not 3 = $300 to really benefit) for each game. Nintendo titles rarely go on sale, and those are the games my kids can and want to play.
We only have one switch. We have separate profiles/accounts. I’m being told only whichever profile downloads the booster pack for Mario kart is the only profile that will have access to that booster?
Can you re-register your account to the device after adding or importing the second account? Does that mean there would be no main account registered to the switch ? I hope it makes sense.
I have my own question: Is it possible, (on the same switch) for account 1 (no online subscription) to play games that account 2 (with online subscription) bought with a game voucher? if yes I would appreciate if you could explain. tysm
Unfortunately no, if you buy a membership for one account it will stay for that one account, the only way to get online membership for multiple profiles is to buy the family membership
@@CrispyMilkk Family membership is worth the additional cost IMO at this point given how many retro games are on there, along with the voucher deals they are currently running as of Feb 2024. I grabbed a few of those for each account since all the games my kids want or will want are on that list of eligible titles. It's saving me at least $60-120 over the next year. This multiple copy shit is still crazy though. If you have a family membership with childrens accounts, you should be able to share games and play over at least local networks multiplayer.
I think if you make an account, an make that a "children" account, and gives your main account parental control or something, you can play the games of the main account without issues. not sure entirely what its called or whatever, I just know that my buddy does this with his kids and has no issues.
So I’ve made my second account a child account and made my main account the parent. I’ve also made my child account have no restrictions, but when I click on a game it won’t let me play thro child because I haven’t purchased it. Does it need to be on primary switch? Or the family plan?
@@panpan4409 that im not sure about, but i guess if you do it on the primary switch it Will work regardless. Im not too sure about this, its such a stupid way for Nintendo to do this..
@@panpan4409 You can only play the same game at the same time with 2 separate accounts, which means you need to purchase 2 copies. Cheapest way to do this is to buy physical copies as they are usually less, especially used, but if you have kids you know how easily they will lose games or worse, break the console trying to force the cart inside. I've opted for 90% digital for those reasons alone, not to mention just the convenience of it. My kids Switch Lites currently hold Mario Kart carts, and the rest are digital copies of any games they will play, with one Switch having my account on it for titles I only need 2 since all 3 of us will not being playing at the same time pretty much ever. Anything we have or will play multiplayer with all 3, I've avoided the issue and bought 3 separate copies. For those instances, grab the Nintendo vouchers, spend $300, 1 set of vouchers per account, and buy them that way. Between all 3 it saves you $60-90 depending on the games overall, so instead of $360 for 3 games, 3 copies each, you spend $300 for the same games. For example, Lugis Mansion, I'll share that on one childs account, same for Odyssey, same for Pokemon. None of those really benefit from multiplayer, and very low chance we would all play them at the same time, and I'd concede my account for them to do so if needed. For 3D World, Mario Kart and Mario Party, those would be good titles to get for this use case. 3D World in particular is a game we will all be playing when my middle son's birthday rolls around in March. I've already purchased 1 copy and have vouchers on their accounts for when they are allowed to get that game. We have about 2 months for them to figure out the next game they want to play, but it seems like the top choice right now.
I get what you’re trying to do and how you’re trying to present as a content creator but this was not a good video. #1 it took you way too long to get into content in this video. #2 If you’re going to endorse a method, you should show us how to do it yourself. I did not feel secure and comfortable after watching this. #3 Nintendo fully endorses this practice on their support website. Please do not mislead. Hope this helps.
If you are using system #1, who should buy games in the future? Since Geebs is now primary on Mrs. Geebs' switch and vice versa, and I assume Geebs' still uses his switch (which, technically would be his secondary switch), which switch should he purchase new games on moving forward? His switch (secondary) or Mrs. Geebs' switch (primary)?
The second option is really the only safe way to do this. I have 2 kids both with Switch Lites, and I'm only buying 2 copies of most games unless there is a reason for all 3 of us to be playing multiplayer on each Switch. I always buy a main copy of it on ours, and a second copy on one of the child accounts, and the other has my login. I will have to turn off the cloud saves on this one though as I hadn't thought of that. Games like Mario 3D World, Mario Kart or any other multiplayer that we would actually do that for, I'm stuck buying 3 copies. The airplane mode thing seems like a good work around, but with how inconsistently they play each game at any one time, It's just a headache. The Nintendo game voucher deal is saving me at least 1 full price game for each 3 I will buy currently though, and the points will help down the road for any additional purchases.
With your first method here, what do you mean by account? Both users have an online membership or both users have Nintendo IDs/emails? Becaise “adding a user” could mean “linking a Nintendo Account” or “adding a profile”
Thats the real issue. Any multiplayer games this isn't going to work. Mario Kart 8, Mario World 3D, Mario Party are all titles that I'm stuck buying 3 copies of. Sure we can run them on the main switch on one TV, but them having their own systems is part of the benefit of even buying them so everyone has their own screens. There are games to play on a TV, and Mario Party would qualify as well as Switch Sports, but I also currently only have 1 set of joy cons, so thats another investment. When I got the original Switch my kids were under 2 years old, so there wasn't a need to buy more. So glad they're $80 for another set... and the ones we have are starting to get stick drift, so $160 here I come. Nintendo has cost me more than any other gaming system I've ever owned so far.
What me and a friend of mines did is we have one account we buy our games on and we keep that account as our primary accounts on our switches then we made a new user on his and my switch and we would link his primary account to a new user on my switch and it goes both ways but. He cant use his main account on his switch,what he would have to do is make a new user and play his games on that user instead and only use his main account to buy his games and we did that for both of us
So just out of interests whats the point of a family account ? I thought you could all play online at the same time providing you are not playing the same game ?
You can all play online playing the same game, provided you buy a copy for each account under the family plan. If you want to game share, you can put the primary account on one of the secondary systems and play games using that account, but only one of those switches can be playing any one game, meaning both could not be playing the same game at the same time, and no multiplayer. I use this to save a little for one of my kids switch lites, since I'm not going to be playing Odyssey or Luigis mansion at the same time as him, but his brother might, so I've purchased those games for him on his. I also have a 3rd kid, who is much younger, so he will probably end up being the main benefactor of my Nintendo game library by the time he's old enough. Unfortunately, I'll be buying 3-4 copies of everything when that happens so they can play together. This is just the beginning.
Help. I’m buying 2 Lites for my teenage kids. Kid A would have to setup their account on Kid B’s and vice versa in order for them to play all games they download, correct? That way I don’t have to pay twice?
You can set one as the main account and create a secondary account for the 2nd switch, BUT, they will not be able to play the same games at the same time, and 100% no multiplayer. If this is an issue, get a yearly family membership for all the retro titles, and grab a bunch of the game vouchers. You get 2 for $100. So any big Nintendo titles are $60 each usually, you save $20 total. They can then buy whatever big titles they want, and play games together or separately without issue. You can't share vouchers between accounts though, so its $200 total, but each would get 2 games. I know, I know, this all sucks, but I'm taking time to figure the best savings. Other route is to just buy physical copies of everything. Teenagers should be able to not lose the games, but you know how that goes.
Hey will this mess up save data? My girlfriend and I are game sharing and if we ever decide to stop sharing will her save data still be there for Zelda?
So I did this, I deactivated mine and signed in on the Switch my parents bought for their house so my nieces and nephews can play. My games showed up on their Switch. But what do I do on mine now? Do I sign in with my account. I can play my games but can I buy new ones?
GEEEEEZUS man LOL. Good content. Get to the point next time and I promise your views will be better. I wanted to share this but I dont want them to give up 🤣
I understand how to game share but I’m just curious.. without this sounding really confusing.. is there a way my gf can play a game I bought on my switch but on her account? She has the lite switch and sometimes prefers to go on my to play on the tv but it won’t let her load the game through her account and says “this user cannot play this software. If you have not purchased the software, you can do so from Nintendo shop” is there are a way of fixing this? I just find it strange it lets you download all your saved data for both accounts but can’t actually play the games through her account
this is a month too late, but if you set YOUR primary console as her switch, then you should be able to play on your profile on your switch, and she should be able to play on her profile on hers
This is how I do it on Xbox. I make my home Xbox my brothers and he makes mines his. So now we have all of each others games without game sharing by purchasing game pass.
Ayye I have all the Pokémon games, and Mario games on my switch as well as about 30 other games, all I want is Tears of the Kingdom. If anyone has it digital plz comment and let’s gameshare, a win win for everyone
If user 1 bought Mario Kart and sign on as the primary and user 2 signs on but isn't the primary but has bought the DLC for Mario Kart if you play on either one of the user account will they both be able to play the DLC?
@@SetSubarashii Confirming that doesn't matter. Each account needs their own copy of each game. Think of it like a physical cart. Can you both play the same physical cart on 2 different switches at the same time? Same problem. His girlfriend can use his account on her switch to play any of the downloaded games, but just not at the same time as him on his switch.
@@cloudrichards They ensure you are buying multiple copies of most games. There are a few work arounds I've covered in my replies on this video, but it amounts to saving a little bit here and there on not having to buy 3 copies instead of just 2 (3 switches here on a family account). Nintendo game vouchers are my current go-to this month as it saves about $10 per copy, or buying physical copies which can be much cheaper. Physical copies I am perfectly fine with, and will continue to do so, but not for my kids games as they WILL lose them, or worse, damage their consoles by forcing the game in the wrong direction or switching (no pun intended) them out too frequently.
The 100% solution is to make money by the sweat of your brow. Buy Mario Kart 5 times, 1 for each switch console. Sleep well at night as a proud father who can provide non-essential luxuries to your family. Therefore, eliminating any future potential headaches, violations, and banned accounts will occur when trying to nickle & dime Nintendo corporation. 👑

If user 1 bought Mario Kart and sign on as the primary and user 2 signs on but isn't the primary but has bought the DLC for Mario Kart if you play on either one of the user account will they both be able to play the DLC?
User 1 shoulda bought the dlc🤷🏻♂️😂
2 user need sign as primary on 1 user’s device? So 1 user can play dlc?
So are you telling me I can't just install my purchased games on my GF's switch through my account and let her play them on her own account ??
Correct. I heard if you pay for the family plan membership you can do it that way though as long as it’s connected
@@SetSubarashii Can anyone confirm this?? See people saying is working, but a lot of people are saying it doesn't?
Does not work
@@SetSubarashii Confirming that doesn't matter. Each account needs their own copy of each game. Think of it like a physical cart. Can you both play the same physical cart on 2 different switches at the same time? Same problem. His girlfriend can use his account on her switch to play any of the downloaded games, but just not at the same time as him on his switch.
Can’t you just make a family group and share the games with them?
Your way sounds overly complicated.
Doesn't work that way
I see that now. They do make it overly complicated don’t they.
Still waiting for someone to answer if the 2 switches can play online together while doing this
@@cloudrichards They ensure you are buying multiple copies of most games. There are a few work arounds I've covered in my replies on this video, but it amounts to saving a little bit here and there on not having to buy 3 copies instead of just 2 (3 switches here on a family account). Nintendo game vouchers are my current go-to this month as it saves about $10 per copy, or buying physical copies which can be much cheaper. Physical copies I am perfectly fine with, and will continue to do so, but not for my kids games as they WILL lose them, or worse, damage their consoles by forcing the game in the wrong direction or switching (no pun intended) them out too frequently.
Anyone else feel Nintendo could do better on this?
You have digital games
Yes this is for digital.
Walmart sells them dollar store
fvcking hate nintendo, and they hate me.
This is way too annoying too much yapping ………..
This guy....he talks way too much about nothing
Sounds annoying
It's annoying and honestly, fucking infuriating to have to buy 3 copies of the same game. Nintendo should do better, but they won't.
The 100% solution is to make money by the sweat of your brow. Buy Mario Kart 5 times, 1 for each switch console. Sleep well at night as a proud father who can provide non-essential luxuries to your family. Therefore, eliminating any future potential headaches, violations, and banned accounts will occur when trying to nickle & dime Nintendo corporation. 👑

This isnt for the fiscal games tho just for downloaded games?
